New Jersey Legislative Histories


A legislative history is a compilation of the documents which express the purpose or intent behind the passage of a particular law. The State Library compiles histories on all New Jersey laws which are general and permanent, and are added to NJSA. Appropriations, temporary and executed, and repealer acts are excluded.

Contact the Law Library at reflaw@njstatelib.org or 609-278-2640 ext. 102 to ask questions about the legislative histories on our site, or to inquire about legislative histories that are not yet available online.

To view the linked documents you must have the Adobe® Acrobat® viewer, which can be downloaded at no charge from Adobe®'s website.


Pre-1998 Legislative Histories

We are currently in the process of scanning and uploading legislative histories for the years 1974 to 1997. If you don't find what you need online, contact the law library with the year and chapter number to check if a legislative history was compiled.

 

Questions and comments may be directed to the Law Library.
